And where the old racketeers had bodyguards with pug noses and club-steak ears, this fellow hires a turtleneck-wearing glamour boy (John Considine) who might just as well be Lyle Waggoner. What's more, these contemporary villains have lost all sense of decorum. They try to impress by breaking coke bottles across their mistresses' faces (the gangster in The Long Goodbye) or they think that to frisk...
